Bible Studies of World Communion of Reformed Churches in June 2010
(20 May 2010)
These Bible studies invite you to think about the call for church unity and to discuss it with others—whether in your congregation or in your Bible study group at the Uniting General Council of the World Communion of Reformed Churches in June 2010.
They are intended for use at five daily Bible study sessions during the Uniting General Council. But they are also meant for wider use within the churches that will compose the new communion.
